i.e. pay $5 to go back 5 days.

The time travel is permanent and one-way.

Edit: this is a one time offer and your budget is however much liquid cash you have right now. Cards are accepted, though.

For non-Americans, feel free to convert $1 USD to your currency

    Depends on how this works. Do I wake up in my younger body, in my previous situation? Do I still remember everything I know and remember now?

    Or do I just appear as I am right now, in the past?

    Because we’ve gone back, the money is kinda irrelevant in some cases. I would whoop out $3,650 or more out of my savings to go back a decade or more. I would give the rest to my family in case that timeline carries on, whatever is left is irrelevant to me since in the past I had $0. I’ll have to make it again.

      This is a pretty common wish, I’d wager. Know everything you know now with no responsibility. Ace school cause it’d be like a review. Friends and romance would be much, much easier with your experience. You would be SO free simply be knowing it’s such a waste of time and energy worrying about certain things (am I normal, does she like me, am I ugly, etc.)

      Oh to just sit back and relax with nothing hanging over my head and no responsibilities (compared to an adult). Oh, to have that very strong feeling of wonder and know your while life ahead of you and the possibilities are endless!

      What a beautiful and splendid fantasy. If only.

        Also, pretty much free get-rich schemes. Betting, crypto, pharma stocks around 2019…

    It’s always tempting to say things like, “Go back to being 20 and relive young adulthood again, avoiding all the stupid mistakes I made the first time around.” But I know I would make a whole new set of different stupid mistakes the second time.

    Knowing that, I would do what others have said: only go back enough days to play a winning lottery number or make some ridiculous stock options bet and become filthy rich.

    2 days. I’ll memorize the Powerball winning numbers to win something like $500M, since I know there were no other winners.

      Surely they’ll butterfly effect into different numbers after you buy the ticket?

      That’s pretty smart. Even jumping to the one before the billion dollar win isn’t that far back, and even if time changes the chance of splitting the winnings is low.

  • As a millennial American I have about $40 to my name. I might have $100 at the end of the day. That’s 100 days further from my demise. Sooooo no deal.

    I’m not sure if I would want to. Too many nice things have happened to me by chance, and I’m not sure if I could make them happen again.

    Of course it’s tempting to start over and do a second play-through. Maybe I’ll save up and reconsider on my deathbed.


    edit:
    Also, move to Venezuela by then. A single dollar should get you enough bolivars to travel as far back as you want :)

    I have more than enough to get to 2010, which is as far back as I can go (so I don’t erase my son). I have a LOT of things to do differently in that time…

    Easy question. I’ll just go back to 2010 and invest all my money in bitcoin, I won’t have to work a day in my life.
